How You Can Help
Mount Zion, Jerusalem
Support Yeshivah Learning for Ba'alei Teshuva
Providing Essential Funding for Yeshiva Scholarships & Aid
Help the Yeshiva Embrace Every Ba'al Teshuva
Ba’alei teshuva often come from families that are not observant, and they therefore often do not have the understanding and financial support of their families to engage in full-time, yeshivah-level learning. Through the support of the Jewish community, however, we are able to provide the funding for yeshiva scholarships and aid needed for ba’alei teshuva to sit and learn, without concern for material needs. Your support in this great area of need makes you a partner with HaShem in returning these souls to Him, His Torah, and His people. And whoever saves one soul, it is though he saved the entire world.
Timeline
This is a yearly campaign to raise the maximum finances possible for scholarships and aid for needy ba’alei teshuvah. The more we raise, the more students.

Why Its Needed
Scholarships
Including three seders of learning a day, personal space in a shared bedroom, and three meals a day in the yeshiva on Mount Zion, Jerusalem.
Material Needs
Ba’alei teshuvah require significant material support to sit and learn Torah, including tefillin and tallis, clothing and laundry, haircuts and toiletries, and more.
Quarterly Trips
The Yeshiva takes its students on regular trips around Israel, at considerable expense, from bus and driver to food and accommodations.
“…they will be able to be an example — a moral example — for the whole world, to keep morality, justice, love, care, that the world is looking for, that the world is searching for the Jewish nation, for the Jewish state, to show them in the world.”
